My dad has seen most everyone on this list
Including mark knopfler and Stevie ray vaughnn
I feel better now that you confirmed.
Has your dad seen Prince though?
That was a truly once in a lifetime thing, literally unfortunately.
Would have loved to see Prince. He played at a tiny club here a few years before he died. I actually had a shot at tickets but would need to sell an organ.
Because I was never a Prince fan I was ridiculed by some of my music-loving coworkers. To me that stuff was just dance music and I could never really take it seriously - I know, it is a fault of mine.
Musicology is an excellent Prince album. Itās a tribute to old school funk and soul. It kicks much ass.
And I know Iām alone in saying this but he overplayed that solo.
I live in Minnesota so you are only permitted to have undying admiration for Prince. I keep my mouth shut about it in real life, but here on the internet I donāt mind telling you he was a misogynistic asshole with an inferiority complex. Massively overrated. For my money I prefer Warren Zevon as a musical genius, transposing Spice Girls songs for 16 piece orchestras. Of course he was a misogynistic asshole too, but at least he was funny. Prince was just pretentious.
I agree. His songwriting is at odds with his riff riff wankery, which is more like Yngwie Malmsteen than any soul or funk player. That ādiddle diddle diddleā crap where someone just does repeated pull-offs or hammer-ons is tedious as shit, at least for me.
If I enjoy anything, itās his songs, not his guitar playing.
Is this that thing British people call irony? Raspberry Beret was written by Prince and covered by Zevonā¦
My favorite break up songs of his were the ones about Tule. The French Inhaler and Tuleās Blues.
The death card always makes me think of that verse in Tuleās Blues.
Oh Tule, now once I was your knight in golden armor, with the sun behind my hair, and my music filled the air with cymbals aligning. Oh, tell me, now canāt you see Iām changing like the seasons? My hair has grown dark, and thereās no room left in the ark for the lark with a broken wing.
